39: Chapter 39 Dugu Yan is refreshed! Qin Feng wins the beauty!

Just then, the bathroom door was gently pushed open.

Dugu Yan poked half of her body out, her already delicate face now so red it looked like it could drip water.

"Qin Feng..."

"The hot water... is ready."

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's whine, laced with a tremor.

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, put away the medicinal herbs, and got up to walk toward the bathroom.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

The huge bathtub was strewn with rose petals.

Qin Feng quickly stripped off his clothes and jumped directly into the tub, letting out a sigh of comfort.

"So relaxing."

He leaned against the wall of the tub, looking through the swirling mist at Dugu Yan, who was hesitating at the doorway.

Dugu Yan had already changed out of her combat uniform and was only wrapped in a large bath towel.

Her wet, long hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her face, which usually carried a hint of bewitching wildness, was now filled with compliance and shyness.

It had to be said, this Snake Girl's figure was truly top-tier.

Especially that flexibility gained from years of cultivation—just thinking about it made one's heart race.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Qin Feng patted the water beside him, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Didn't you say you wanted to repay me?"

"Is this your sincerity?"

Dugu Yan's body trembled slightly, and her earlobes turned completely red.

She bit her lower lip, as if making some kind of decision, and nodded softly.

As that thin layer of fabric slid down.

A pair of legs as white as jade were the first to slip into the water, followed closely by that stunning, curvaceous body that made the blood surge.

Water splashed lightly.

Dugu Yan slowly leaned closer, her warm skin touching his in the water.

That smooth sensation made Qin Feng narrow his eyes involuntarily.

"Although your poison is resolved, it still needs consolidation."

Qin Feng leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear, his warm breath spraying onto her sensitive earlobe.

"I have a special cultivation method that can help you recover faster..."

Dugu Yan felt a wave of numbness wash over her body, as if all her strength had been drained, and she leaned softly into Qin Feng's embrace.

When she heard Qin Feng's low whisper, the blush on her face spread to her neck.

But in the end, she lowered her head and let out a barely perceptible "Mm."

The rising mist concealed the romantic scene in the tub.

...

An hour later.

Qin Feng, refreshed, dressed neatly and returned to his room.

Dugu Yan, however, walked out of Qin Feng's dormitory with a slightly unsteady gait, heading in the direction of the girls' dormitory.

It was already deep into the night, and the campus was quiet.

Dugu Yan distractedly pushed open the dormitory door.

"Yan Zi?"

A cool voice rang out.

Ye Lingling was sitting on the edge of her bed reading. Seeing Dugu Yan return, she looked up in surprise.

"Returning so late?"

"Your complexion... why is it so red?"

Dugu Yan's gaze was somewhat evasive as she stammered:

"N-nothing, I just went for a bath."

Ye Lingling was also a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team and possessed the extremely rare Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, making her very perceptive.

She put down her book and walked in front of Dugu Yan, her brows furrowed slightly.

"That's not right."

Ye Lingling suddenly grabbed Dugu Yan's wrist. After a slight sensing, her expression instantly changed drastically.

"Your poison... it's gone?!"

As a healing-type Spirit Master, she knew better than anyone how stubborn the poison in Dugu Yan's body was—an intractable ailment that even a Titled Douluo couldn't resolve.

How could she be completely healed after just one trip out?

"Mm... it's gone."

Dugu Yan nodded, and the scenes from the bathroom flashed through her mind again, making her cheeks burn even hotter.

"How was it resolved?"

Ye Lingling asked urgently, her face full of shock.

"It was Qin Feng..."

Dugu Yan whispered, "He can refine a type of medicinal pill, and I took it, and I was fine."

"A medicinal pill?"

Ye Lingling was stunned.

What kind of thing was this?

Could it be even more miraculous than the Nine Heart Begonia?

Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, her gaze suddenly fixed on Dugu Yan's corner of her mouth.

There, there was a trace of crystalline white that hadn't been wiped away.

"Yan Zi, what did you sneak eating?"

Ye Lingling pointed to the corner of Dugu Yan's mouth and asked with a purely curious expression:

"Is this the residue left by that so-called medicinal pill?"

Hearing Ye Lingling's innocent and knowledge-seeking inquiry, Dugu Yan felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning and froze on the spot.

That was...

That was what Qin Feng did last... in the bathtub.

The absurd scenes from earlier instantly flashed through Dugu Yan's mind. Those shameful moments surged into her heart like a tide.

She hastily raised the back of her hand and rubbed her mouth a few times with force, not stopping until the delicate skin was slightly red from the friction.

"This... this is medicinal residue!"

Dugu Yan's eyes darted around, not daring to look at Ye Lingling's clear eyes at all. Her voice was higher than usual to cover up her inner panic.

"Yes... it is the residue of the medicinal pill."

"That medicinal pill is a bit special; it's liquid... um, quite thick."

Ye Lingling blinked, her gaze still fixed on Dugu Yan's delicate and alluring face.

As a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, she was most sensitive to medicine and life force.

At this very moment, the aura emanating from Dugu Yan was simply incredible to her.

The former Dugu Yan, though beautiful, always carried an unshakeable gloom between her brows—a sign of the long-term erosion caused by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison.

Although her complexion was fair, it carried a sickly pallor.

But now?

Ye Lingling leaned closer for a careful look.

Dugu Yan's skin was rosy white, like a freshly peeled egg, and it even emitted a faint, lustrous sheen.

Those emerald-green eyes, which always held a hint of ferocity, were now rippling with liquid light and overflowing with charm. Where was any trace of poisoning?

Even Dugu Yan's Soul Power fluctuations were significantly more robust than before.

This change was practically a complete transformation.

"Is it really a medicinal pill?"

Ye Lingling murmured softly, her tone filled with intense shock.

She reached out and gently held Dugu Yan's wrist. After sensing for a moment, the surprise in her eyes deepened.

Meridians clear, blood and energy vigorous.

The potent poison that had plagued Dugu Yan for twenty years had actually vanished completely, leaving not even a trace of residue.

"Yan Zi, this Qin Feng... who exactly is he?"

Ye Lingling couldn't help but ask.

She and Dugu Yan had grown up together, so she naturally knew how much Dugu Bo had worried about his granddaughter's poison, seeking out famous doctors across the land to no avail.

Yet now, after just one night out, after taking a single medicinal pill refined by this 'Qin Feng,' she was completely cured?

Dugu Yan saw that Ye Lingling was not pressing further about the 'medicinal residue' on her mouth and breathed a huge sigh of relief, forcing a calm demeanor:

"He... is a monster."

"His alchemy skills are truly formidable; even my grandfather admires him completely."
